Topic: URL:Mal threat detected on EVERY new or refreshed page in firefox (Read 7659 times)

I get a URL:Mal threat detected on EVERY new or refreshed page in firefox, no matter what the URL is. Firefox and Avast (engine, defs, and program) are all up to date. Been going on for a few days. Ran a full system scan with 0 infections detected. What now?

Yesterday I ran the Adwcleaner twice, he first time as "search." Then I noticed I needed to use "delete." Ran it again. Must have sent the wrong log file to you. Just in cast, I ran Adwcleaner and OTL again today - logs attached.

BTW, Firefox now opens and refreshes tabs without Avast alerts so I guess we're fixed! Thanks a million.

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

Run AdwCleaner and press uninstall

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administratorWhen it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appearSelect More Options tab Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button
